Hola all,
Our bulldog male pup (Oscar) is a little over 5 months old. He's pretty good about holding it for extended periods of time in his pen when we're not at home. During the workday, he's good until someone gets home and he can easily hold it overnight. However -
1) Whenever we're home and he's outside his pen he'll need to pee about every hour or so but it seems to be for "attention" i.e. he'll do it right in front of us. This is a relatively new thing, he starting doing this about two weeks ago. I believe he can hold it longer but how do I train him to hold it a little bit longer each time even when we're around.
2) We live in a condo building so we have to walk out in the hallway, into the elevator and through the lobby before he gets to his spot. Sometimes he can hold it the whole way but sometimes he piddles a little (or a lot) on the way out. He's about 40 lbs. now so carrying him the whole way is starting to become a non-possibility.
Any thoughts?
- Dave
